Tiniest LEDs light up Nat. Photon. (IF 32.3) Pub Date : 2025-05-07 Oliver Graydon
Over the past decade, the display industry has been driving scientists to make ever-smaller LEDs, with so-called micro-LEDs in demand for next-generation active displays, where each LED, typically on the scale of 10–100 μm in size, serves as a light-emitting pixel. The goal is to reduce the size of these micro-LEDs to allow higher spatial density arrays of pixels while retaining sufficient device brightness
